"Masterman." Xu Xingwei hugged his fists and said with a smile: "What are you going to know?"

"What do you think about the matter of Zhuqiantun?"

Qiantun is where Li Youde is now, less than a hundred miles away from the gates, and a considerable portion of the army's food and grass were transported by Wang Zhi's fleet, so Wang Zhi was also extremely concerned.

"Qiantun is very close to the sea, and is also a smooth plain from the gate. For transportation, it is suitable for both water and land. The disadvantage is that when it comes to an enemy attack, there is no danger to defend, and you can only build a city desperately. But the timing of the battle is not me, but the enemy. What is gratifying is that our army's main force is very close to Qiantun, and the cavalry can arrive in half a day, and infantry can arrive in one day. If the cavalry wants to fight here, I think it will be the situation that Lord Li, the general manager of various troops, wants to see the most."

Wang Zhi agreed very much, nodded greatly, and responded: "I can see! Lord Li wanted to fight a battle near the gate of the gate. It would be best to fight this battle around the beginning of autumn. The Donghu people also had to farm, and their cavalry also had to provide food and grass. The Donghu people would also have to cry! If this was dragged on, it would be difficult for the Donghu people to fight. Finally, it would be a situation of fighting near the gate of the gate. The Great Wei imperial guards fought against the other side in the plains near the mountains and seas, and the Hu cavalry was sharp.

However, the Wei army formed a strong formation and faced the enemy head-on. Even if it could not win a big victory and a war of attrition, the Donghu people could not stand it. As for building the old Jinzhou City, pushing it all the way to the Daling River, the emperor in the court took it for granted. How could the enemy cavalry beside him? When pushing it to Jinzhou and Daling River hundreds of miles away, the pressure on our army's logistics food and grass came. The daily food, clothing, food, grass, arrows, weapons and medicinal materials for hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the Great Wei national strength is strong, it is not easy to provide it."

Xu Xingwei also showed an expression of admiration on his face. The old pirate in front of him is worthy of being a big shot across the seven seas. After only two or three months of closing the door, he really understood the general trend.

Unfortunately, the officials in the court probably didn't have many fears about Li Guorui's intentions and fighting styles.

"Now, let's talk about you." Wang Zhi paused and looked at Xu Xingwei and said, "You don't have much work here anymore. Should you go back to Xingying to find something new, or go back to Fuzhou?"

Xu Xingwei said with a firm look: "I originally planned to stay here to serve here. I have two friends who are now serving in the army. They are the Jinshi of Mingda and I in the same year. But because I have no foundation in the Northern Imperial Guards, and I have not led the army in the military these few months, I asked me to be the leader of the battalion when I was about to fight. Even if Lord Li rests at ease, I would not dare to do such a thing..."

"I understand." Wang Zhi said appreciatively: "Many people dare to bite the bullet and do things they shouldn't do. Zi Zhang's decision is right. It is easy to be a taboo in the battle. The soldiers will not obey you, the colleagues will also be excluded, and the bosses will not dare to trust it. It is not a good choice to go to the Northern Expedition Army at this time. So, are you going back to Fuzhou?"

"With my father's connections in Fuzhou, it is not difficult to find a battalion for me in the imperial guards." Xu Xingwei smiled and said, "But I don't plan to go there. To be honest, the general said that the three generations of my family are to be able to be granted a marquis and return to the genealogy of the clan. If we advance step by step, we may have no hope of being granted a marquis in this life."

"I know your Xu clans," Wang Zhi smiled and said, "So, are you planning to go to the Dongfan?"

"That's right." Xu Xingwei said: "Everything is going on in the East Fan. In this war, Mingda was named a prince, and the soldiers will make meritorious and reward. I missed this opportunity, but the East Fan obviously has a great war to fight. It's not too late to go back at this time."

Xu Xingwei had already received a letter from Xu Zixian. Of course, when he was writing the letter, Xu Zixian had not yet received the title of Prince. The messenger followed the messenger who went north to report the victory. He arrived at Dengzhou messenger took a boat to Pingdao, and then found Xu Xingwei in the fleet.

Xu Zixian was able to confirm that the future situation of the Dongfan period is not small, so he advised his friends not to delay in the north and to return to the Dongfan period as soon as possible.

Of course, Xu Zixian could not explicitly say that the Northern Expedition would be defeated, but Xu Xingwei's reason is also the reason why Xu Zixian persuaded him. When he was about to fight, he was the head general of the first battalion of the army. Neither Li Guorui nor Yue Zhi would give this opportunity. If he stayed in the north, he would just follow his military qualifications. Xu Xingwei had already been a lot before, and there would be even more difficult things below. The protracted battle would be delayed for a long time. The victory or defeat was unpredictable. He could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he would only hang out in the general manager's camp, which was meaningless.

Of course, Xu Xingwei was immediately moved. Dongfan's victory had already made him feel restless. He felt that he had missed a good opportunity. If he didn't return, it would be difficult to integrate into the Dongfan system.

Xu Zixian also persuaded him that the army of the Dongfan would expand significantly before the New Year. Xu Xingwei could first serve as the head of the department, be responsible for administrative affairs, be familiar with many generals and soldiers, and then serve as the commander of the army. This is a natural thing. The whole process was nothing more than a few months. Should we go to the head of the Dongfan and the future commander of the army, or go to Fuzhou to get a qualification? Is this a matter of consideration?

There will definitely be a larger war in the future. Xu Xingwei understands Xu Zixian's ambitions and ambitions, and he himself is the same. In addition, it is because of the general trend, and anyone who is interested can see it.

Sure enough, Wang Zhi said, "Zi Zhang, do you see it too? Liu Dan, Yan Qi is just Pu Xingfeng's chess piece. They are defeated miserably, but Pu Xingfeng will definitely come again. Either wait for him or go find him. Although this battle can be delayed for many years, the longer it will be, the more unfavorable the situation will face you. Behind Pu Xingfeng is the Mughal, Yarkand, and the great powers of Tianfang, the Pu family is also the great family of Tianfang. It is in the sea

To expand, the countries of Tianfang have been giving him money, grain and personnel supplies. If the people of Tianfang were dragged by the Europa over the years, Pu Xingfeng would have taken down Malacca and destroyed the Three Buddhas, Lan Fang, Zhenla, Siam, Cham, and Annan. After a few years, when he destroys the Three Buddhas, there will be at least a thousand warships and more than 100,000 people. When the time comes, I am afraid you will really not be able to withstand it. Even the Great Wei is not easy to bear it. The Southeast and Guangnan areas may not be able to protect them."

Xu Xingwei's face was solemn, and Wang Zhi's statement was also the biggest concern of Dongfan and even Fuzhou.

Pu Xingfeng is really here, who can resist it?

Not to mention the five imperial guards, even fifty troops may not be able to stop them.

The imperial court had a total of more than twenty armies in Jiangnan and southeastern Guangdong and Guangxi, and it was impossible to have fifty armies. If it was to shake the foundation of the north, it could not prevent the Donghu and control the bandits, which would shake the foundation of the country.

There really was such a situation. The Great Wei was trapped in the north, internal bandits were rampant, and the southeast was trapped in pirates. The Xu family's ancestral temple was really unstable.

Xu Xingwei is a descendant of the royal family, and of course he doesn't want to see this day. He just said to Wang Zhi: "A gentleman can only deal with the wind coming from all directions by himself."

"What a magnificent word." Wang said straight: "I hope to see you defeated Pu Xingfeng the day. We are not able to do it anymore. The Great Wei falls from the head of the country to being rampant by Pu Xingfeng. It is also our incompetence. Now I am old and I see you."

When Wang Zhi spoke, Lu Wenjun, Lu Sihai, Lu Qi and others all showed anger on their faces.

Wang Zhi's retirement was related to his own situation and also to Pu Xingfeng's continuous compression of the living space of Wei pirates. Yan Qi, Liu Dan and others have always been supported by Pu Xingfeng, while Wang Zhi was suppressed, guarded and sneak attacked. This is also the reason why Kang Tianqi was eager to cooperate with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, because after Wang Zhi was attached, Pu Xingfeng's next goal was of course Kang Tianqi. Although Pu Xingfeng has been attracting Kang Tianqi with a cooperative attitude, Kang Tianqi's pressure is increasing day by day. Whether it is cooperation or an enemy, Pu Xingfeng will not force him like this now, but this is a matter of time.

Deng Wenjun, Lu Sihai and others knew Pu Xingfeng's approach.

Lu Sihai said: "When you go to war with Pu Xingfeng in the future, I will be the only one of you."

Deng Wenjun also said: "You can also count me as one. If such a person is involved in the Great Wei Dynasty, my China will never be doomed."

These two people actually have a good relationship with each other, and Wang Zhi has been reconciling, but they always have their own opinions on external affairs, so it is difficult to agree. This time, the two pirate leaders have a rare ambition to be together for Pu Xingfeng.

Wang Zhi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a scream came from the closing door.

Everyone was silent. After a while, someone beat the drum. Then a team of soldiers appeared at the closing door, holding something like a wooden cage in their hands. Then they hung the wooden cage at the closing door, and another drum sounded.

"Hold your head to the public." A pirate was considered an expert and shouted: "Has Yan Qi's head arrived?"

"It's probably true."

"Who has seen him?"

"I have seen this guy with a short, strong man with black face, round face, small eyes, big beard, and his eyes looked cold, just like a black snake. He is so bad, he is today."

"We Wei people are pirates, and they may not necessarily kill people if they get something. Yan Qi will still have a way out for other people. When they encounter our Great Wei merchant ship, they will definitely kill people if they encounter it. Damn, I have long thought about when he will be today. This retribution is really fast!"

Amid the noise, Wang Zhiling and several pirates who had seen Yan Qi rowed a boat and went to identify them.

After a while, a few pirates who went there smiled and returned, and after getting on the boat, he said, "Master, it's Yan Qi, it's right. His eyes are still wide-eyed, but it smells so bad that it's almost rotten."

Yan Qi's head was wrapped in ice during the transmission to prevent early rot, but it was inevitably exposed to the scorching sun when suspended. It has been more than ten days since it was over, so of course it was almost rotten.

The pirates on the flagship were all very happy and lacked favoritism towards the two thieves of Luzon and Wang Zhi, who were dominated by Wei people, and even wanted this guy to die early.

Yan Qi was afraid that it would have been hard for him to have a Luzon thief one day, and he would have been hanged at the northeastern gate of the Great Wei Dynasty. Even if he had a nightmare, he would have really happened.

Who can believe and imagine that such a pirate king on the South China Sea would have his head hanging above the city gate of Shanhaiguan?

"I'm very happy, too." Wang Zhi finally said to Xu Xingwei: "I hope that before I die, I can see Pu Xingfeng's head hanging here."

"Mingda said." Xu Xingwei said: "If one day he asked Pu Xingfeng to give his head, his head must be hung on the head of Zhangzhou for public display!"

...

"It's hard to believe, it's hard to imagine, haha, haha." Chen Zhengzhi could hardly stop himself from laughing, and just laughed wildly all the way into the back house.

The weather is hot, and many women and maids are dressed very thinly. A man like Chen Zhengzhi who has become a relative lives in his own courtyard, and the back house of the Hou Mansion rarely comes.

Many little maids were blushing and avoiding each other, but Chen Zhengzhi didn't care. Chen Wenjun's residence was lush with flowers and trees, and there were blooming flowers and trees everywhere. The whole courtyard had a fragrance of grass and flowers.

Chen Zhengzhi shouted outside the little sister's monastery: "Little sister, little sister, come out quickly."

, Father, second uncle, third uncle, sixth uncle, ninth uncle and others are all here, and I want to give you a greeting."

"Brother." Chen Wenjun walked out with a look of anger on her beautiful face. She said, "You are about to be a father, why are you so unstable? What are you talking nonsense?"

Chen Zhengzhi didn't answer at first, looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Are you embroidering a quilt?"

Chen Wenjun's face turned slightly red and said, "You still ask even though you know?"

If a woman gets married, if there is a husband and aunt, there is a custom in Fuzhou. When a bride passes the house, she will get up early on the first morning to greet her husband and aunt as usual. Then the first day tests cooking skills, starting with respect for morning tea and breakfast. If the bride does a good job, she will of course receive praise, and the husband and aunt will be very happy.

If you do not do well, although it is inconvenient to embarrass the bride, it is inevitable to show your face to the bride when you encounter a mother-in-law who is not so open-minded.

This is a feudal society where parents are not filial to their parents. As long as their parents sue, they can hang their sons and daughters-in-law according to the law. When encountering mother-in-law who is difficult to serve and is not good at internal affairs, the life of a new daughter-in-law will be very difficult.

In addition to cooking skills, female red is also an important assessment goal. In the small peasant economy, men have to do physical work in the fields. Cooking and washing clothes is a must for women. In addition, cooking and growing vegetables and raising chickens is also the job of the wife. There are also shoe soles, making shoes, cutting window flowers, pasting window paper, and of course sewing bedding, spinning and making clothes for the family. The ones are well made, exquisite, beautiful and strong, and the men, women, and young and old are wearing them out to be decent. The daughter-in-law of this family was praised by everyone.

If you do not do well, with rough stitches and chaotic cutting, you will naturally be laughed at.

Of course, Chen Wenjun didn't have to do housework himself. In addition to the generous dowry, there were at least a dozen servants and close maids who followed him to the Dongfan. There were also many servants serving him in the Dongfan. However, the girl was the most basic life skill of a woman, especially the nobles in Fuzhou who could marry daughters. Other things could be done on behalf of her. It was best for the bride to take care of her when she was newly married.

"Don't talk about these." Chen Zhengzhi knew that the younger sister was shy. Although she was extremely satisfied with Xu Zixian and had a deep friendship, Chen Zhengzhi felt sad when she saw that her youngest sister was about to get married, and her smile stopped a little. But he quickly became happy again and said with a smile: "If you don't know, I'll keep you in a silence. Let me go first. Father and the others are really waiting for you."

"What happened to Dongfan again?" Chen Wenjun's heart sank, a little worried.

"Don't worry." Chen Zhengzhi smiled and said, "You can't see that it's a great thing? People say that my little sister is smart, but I think most of the women who are going to get married have become stupid."

"You are stupid." Chen Wenjun felt relieved and became happy, but she still gave her brother a blank look.

...

Chen Dujing almost forced himself to sit down, otherwise he would be like the inexpensive son, and he would scream when he heard the news, which was simply unconventional!

However, all the brothers and nephews in front of him were unable to control them. Li Mingyu and Xu Zixian had a good relationship and had known each other for a long time. This former talented man, the current Xinghua Army observer, couldn't stop laughing.

Yang Fu, Chen Zhengzhi, these young people were shouting happily.

Chen Duguang, Chen Duming, Chen Duli, and Chen Du, the older generation, barely suppressed their overly excited emotions and stood together in groups of people talking. No one could keep calm and sit in the chair.

After seeing this, Chen Dujing was still the patriarch of the big family and could barely sit upright. Although according to his actual thoughts, he wanted to stand up and laugh loudly.

When he got married to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, there were many oppositions from the Changwen Marquis Mansion. After all, although Xu Zixian's Nan'an Marquis Mansion rose rapidly, had strong power, and had a promising prospect, but the foundation was too weak and it was probably not lasting.

The loudest voices of opposition were, the loudest voices of being ridiculed now.

The person who was exposed was not angry, and he still had a smile on his face. As soon as the news from the capital came back, Changwen Hou’s Mansion was filled with joy.

Xu Zi of Nan'an Marquis was named Prince and served as Deputy Governor. It is conceivable that Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, now called Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, would seize more interests and gain greater power on Fujian Road.

With King Zhao's talent, prestige and virtue, even when Xu Zixian was just an ordinary marquis of a country, he could share the world with King Zhao's three parts.

Now that Xu Zi has become the King of Zhongshan, how can King Zhao be his opponent?

The emperor did not give the king's title and gave the word Zhongshan. It was nothing more than a disgusting method. No one would take it seriously. Could a king's title affect the future of Fujian Road and make King Zhao really annex Zhongshan?

Just kidding!

"Zhongshan Palace," Chen Duguang said seriously: "I feel that I will definitely overtake the Zhao Palace, so there is no need to talk about this. Maybe in a few years, the emperor will have to move Zhao to Jiangling to retire. Anyway, he can't do anything decent. Stay in Fuzhou and embarrass the emperor for nothing. I also have a feeling that the prestige and power of the Zhongshan Palace will surpass the original King of Qi. Although there is no evidence, I just feel this way, but I don't know why."

There are many people in the flower hall, and many people agree with Chen Duguang's analysis, but like Chen Duguang, they have a vague idea. They cannot be sure of it, nor can they be sure of it.
